It is characterized by its braided trunk and large, palmate leaves, which can grow up to 5 to 7 leaflets. The plant is often cultivated as a houseplant and is believed to bring good luck and prosperity. The money tree thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. It is relatively low-maintenance, requiring moderate watering and occasional fertilization. Pachira Aquatica can grow up to 6 feet tall indoors, making it a popular choice for home and office decor.
